Wagner Lohengrin extended Grail Narration

Post by sbeckmesser »

The otherwise beautiful new Eulenburg octavo study score reprint of the Wagner Critical Edition Lohengrin does not include the extended version of the Act III Grail Narration that is usually cut but IS included in some recordings (such as Barenboim's Teldec version). The extended version also is not included in the full score currently on IMSLP. But it WAS available in an appendix in the Broude score I saw in college that may have originated in what is by now a public-domain Peters/Mottl edition (the same source of the Dover reprints of Walkure, Parsifal, Tristan and Tannhauser). While it would be nice to have the whole of the Broude score online, for now just the contents of the Appendix will do. [I've never seen the older Eulenburg mini-score of Lohengrin so I don't know if it has the extended Narration.]
